British Columbia held the overall selection
The passing grade went up again.
On December 12, British Columbia held another immigration draw for different categories of applicants. The province sent out a total of up to 197 invitations.
73 of these were distributed among the following categories:
- Skilled Worker (including those registered in the Express Entry system) — minimum score 116;
- International Graduate (including those registered in the Express Entry system) — minimum score of 116;
- Entry Level and Semi-Skilled — minimum score of 95.
The passing scores are up slightly from the previous overall selection, which was held November 28.
Another 124 invitations were sent to applicants with in-demand occupations — some applicants were registered in the federal Express Entry system:
- Early Childhood Educators and Assistants — 46 invitations;
- Specialists in Construction — 31 invitations;
- Healthcare Professionals — 27 invitations;
- other specialties (including veterinarians, zootechnicians and veterinary technicians) — less than 5 invitations.
The minimum score for all applicants invited under the target selection was a traditional 60 points — except for experts in the field of construction, they need to score 75 points to receive an invitation.
